21 persons according to the spokesman for Kaduna State Police Command, Sabo Abubakar, were killed in Angwan Aku in the volatile Kajuru in southern Kaduna area of the state.
But what engendered the recent controversy that has put the Kaduna killings in the limelight is the role of the state governor in announcing the figures of what he said was killings in Kajuru. “The settlements affected include Ruga Bahago, Ruga Daku, Ruga Ori, Ruga Haruna, Ruga Yukka Abubakar, Ruga Duni Kadiri, Ruga Shewuka and Ruga Shuaibu Yau.”
The National Assistant Secretary of the Adara Development Association, Waziri Luka, in a statement, said, “The unfortunate crisis that erupted in Kajuru local government provided an opportunity for statesmanlike conduct to flourish from the consciousness of those with the responsibility of dispensing not just justice but good governance. But what we got instead was an aberration.
Addressing inmates of an IDP camp in Maraban Kajuru, el-Rufai said that all communities in the state must reject an eye for an eye stance in resolving differences, adding that an attitude of attacks and reprisals only produces pain and suffering. “Security personnel and assets cannot be in every inch of our state. Communities must stop this abnormality of taking the laws into their own hands. It has never worked and will never work.
